Chapter 259 Overnight?
To be honest, the scholars of this era really do look down on these prostitutes.

Even if these so-called famous prostitutes are sought after by tens of thousands of people, when they are brought home, no one will take them as real wives unless they are lazy men who cannot marry a wife at the bottom.

They are all taken home as concubines.

Since it is acting as a concubine, there is actually no emotion. You know, even Gu Hengbo's most loyal supporter, Zhao Er, who spent several thousand taels of silver for an oiran meeting last year, brought Gu Hengbo home After that, at most it is just a concubine.

Even Zhao Er had the idea of ​​asking Shen Yi to take Gu Hengbo home, and then drink "erdaotang" from Shen Yi.

Not only scholars, but the prince of the Jin Dynasty in front of him must be playing with Gu Hengbo. It is impossible to look down on this Qinhuai courtesan in his bones.

And a large part of the reason why these famous prostitutes are sought after by the princes and grandsons in the capital is because they are famous.

Getting to know a famous woman can help him gain some face in the yamen circle.

But Shen Yi really didn't have much thought of discriminating against them.

After all, there are only two ways and two possibilities for these prostitutes to live in prostitution, the first is poor background, and the second is bad luck.

That is to say, either they were born in a poor family, or the father of the family committed a crime and was demoted to the Jiaofang Secretary, and then drifted into the prostitution.

Occupation does not distinguish between high and low.

What's more, these really famous prostitutes, although they have learned a lot of skills to please men in the brothel, they are often innocent.

Because the brothel needs to be up for sale, these girls also need to be up for sale.

Therefore, after hearing Gu Hengbo's words, Shen Yi just smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Master Gu is joking, I was fortunate enough to hear Master Gu play the pipa last year. It was quite moving, Master Gu is a very remarkable woman, Shen Yi Of course I won't look down on you."

This is also the reason why Shen Yi does not discriminate against this profession.

To become an oiran, it is not enough to be good-looking, one must have an amazing art career and a housekeeping skill.

For example, Master Gu is a master of pipa. It is no exaggeration to say that she is "the master of pipa at the fifteenth day, and the name belongs to the first department of Jiaofang"!
Gu Hengbo's gaze shifted, and he looked at Shen Yi, a little surprised: "This is the first time I have seen Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen met my concubine last year?"

"Last year in Chunyi Building, I was lucky enough to meet you."

Shen Yi's face was calm, and he said: "At that time, everyone was shocked by everyone's skills, and now thinking about it, Shen still feels admiration."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked at Li Mu who was on the side, coughed, and said: "My son, I came down to see Mr. Gu today. Even if we know each other, Shen still wants to go down to see the lanterns, so I won't disturb you two. gone."

After saying this, Shen Yi turned his head and was about to leave.

Just kidding, "The Second Generation of Wang" is dating a "female star"!For this kind of thing, it is impossible for anyone with vision to stay here for a long time.

But Li Mu didn't care too much. With a smile on his face, he pulled Shen Yi to sit down in the private room, and said with a smile: "The reason why I came to see Master Gu today is because my father's [-]th birthday is coming soon, and I want to invite Master Gu to come. My family played a few pieces of pipa to my father, there is no other meaning, Qilang misunderstood."

Shen Yi looked calm, and said with a smile: "The birthday of Prince Jin, that's not a trivial matter. Your son, you are here to talk about things, don't pay attention to me..."

"I was going to find you."

Li Mu patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I just talked about you Qilang with Master Gu, and she said that she likes the poems written by you Qilang very much. I want Shichiro to help me fill out a poem."

As he said that, he looked at Gu Hengbo, and said with a smile: "Master Gu, Qilang just arrived today, can you please play Qilang again, so that no matter whether he fills in or not, he will have a good idea."

"Yes…"

Gu Hengbo lowered his head with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty and Young Master, wait a moment, this concubine is going to prepare the pipa..."

After speaking, everyone stood up, twisted their waists and went to the side to pick up the pipa.

After the woman walked away, Li Mu looked at Shen Yi at the side, and said with a smile, "Is Qilang interested?"

The Prince Jin's tone was very calm: "If you like it, Qilang will not leave tonight, I will arrange for you, and you will be her first benefactor."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head again and again in fright: "Your Majesty, don't joke, you..."

"I'm not interested in her."

Li Shizi said indifferently: "I am the clan of the Tian family and a close relative of the royal family. It would be disgraceful to spread the word."

People like Li Mu naturally have no shortage of women.

He is in his early 20s this year. In fact, as early as the age of 14, he had been surrounded by women all the time. As a prince, he had too many options for him to choose from.

Therefore, he didn't really want to sleep with a prostitute.

Although it's irrelevant, it's not a good news after all. Maybe this Gu Hengbo will use this as his "selling point" in the future and use it to "hype".

However, with the energy of the Jin Palace, Li Mu wanted to sleep with Gu Hengbo, it was only a matter of one word, and he could even arrange for Gu Hengbo to sleep with Shen Yi tonight.

Shen Yi looked up at Master Gu in the distance, then shook his head slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, there is no need..."

Li Mu smiled and didn't force it.

"Qilang went back to Jiangdu last year, and he's back again this year. Maybe he's going to take the Chunwei exam?"

"Yes…"

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to pass the exam, I just came here to give it a try. After all, I'm young, so it doesn't matter if I try a few more times."

Li Mu didn't answer, but looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "The mansion newspaper distributed in the palace a few days ago, that is, the one sold on the street today, was written by you, Qilang?"

Shen Yi shook his head quickly.

"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. The contents of the mansion newspaper have nothing to do with me. It was definitely not written by Shen..."

Three negatives in a row.

Because Jin Wangfu should not know that Shen Yi wrote manuscripts for the mansion newspaper, so Shen Yi could only answer as if they didn't know about it.

Li Mu chuckled and was about to speak.

In the room, the pipa sounded.

The two men raised their heads at the same time, and looked at the charming woman who was covered with a white gauze and hugged a pipa not far away.

She squeezed her fingers lightly and slowly, and the wonderful music immediately filled the room.

"The Dibao is very well written."

Li Mu looked at Gu Hengbo, as if he was enjoying the music, but he said: "After my father watched it, he locked himself in the study for a long time, and the coffin was hanging from the mouth of the Holy Dynasty..."

He let out a long sigh: "Emperor Sejong's coffin is indeed a hanging coffin, even the coffin of grandfather Emperor Sejong almost became a hanging coffin."

"I am not filial to my descendants..."

After His Royal Highness said this very emotional sentence, he suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Qilang, my father will celebrate his 40th birthday on the third day of February, and he will make a big fuss at the Jin Palace."

"Is Shichiro coming?"

It stands to reason that it is a rare opportunity to flatter the emperor's uncle with a gift, but Shen Yi's way in the court in the future will be a civil servant, and civil servants are destined to be at odds with nobles.

After listening to Li Mu's words, Shen Yi also looked at Gu Hengbo who was playing the pipa, and then said thoughtfully: "Okay, if you have time then, I will definitely go next time..."
